This time, the little yandere...
Was truly different!
Although she still had that awkward "I am sorry Master, I am not worthy" attitude, kneeling at the drop of a hat, constantly apologizing, and constantly blaming herself...
But...
Fang Qi looked at the silver-haired girl in his arms.
Her cheek was pressed tightly against his chest.
She was... acting spoiled!
She felt she had wronged her master and had no face to see him...
But instead of endlessly apologizing, she forcefully buried her face in his embrace so he could not see it.
"Master, Liguang was wrong, please do not hate Liguang..."
It was that kind of acting spoiled!
Hiss...
Did she have to be this cute!
Fang Qi poked her cheek hard, indenting the soft, squishy flesh.
Liguang let out two soft whimpers and lightly swatted his chest with her small hand. It was soft and weak.
But she still refused to lift her face!
Fang Qi could not help but be amused.
Oh ho!
She really was acting spoiled!
It seemed his final excuse of "dying for love" had left this little yandere very satisfied!
Though she was still blaming herself, she was not... afraid of being hated and abandoned for doing something wrong!
Simply put, she was not so anxious about gains and losses anymore!
And why wouldn't she be!
His neck was still experiencing phantom pain!
She had just accepted her master's "life"!
She had confirmed that her master's "life" always belonged to her!
If even his life was hers...
Then what was there left to worry about losing?
Hmm...?
Looking at it this way...
Did this count as him using his life to coax his wife?
...Eh?
Fang Qi blinked.
He suddenly felt that he was actually quite smart!
His maneuver was not much different from Lin Xiaoyou's, was it?
They both used their lives.
Lin Xiaoyou used her life to pass on a message; he used his life to coax his wife!
He and Lin Xiaoyou were equally smart!
Besides, he had a very accurate positioning of himself—
He was just a guy who played Galgames, why compare himself to a genius!
As long as his limited IQ was used in the right place, that was being smart!
To him...
Knowing how to coax his wife was being smart!
Nothing wrong with that!
Wifey...
Let me rub you some more!
So, applying some force, he forcibly dug the silver-haired girl's face out of his embrace!
Cupping her cheeks with both hands, he squeezed hard...
And her pretty face was squished out of shape!
Her lips puckered into a small circle, her amber left eye was teary, and the crimson in her red right eye flickered.
Her gaze was full of grievance, and a bit of...
The embarrassment and annoyance of being forcibly pulled out to face someone!
"Wuwu—Mas-wu—!"
She protested with a pout!
Fang Qi continued to knead and squish her soft cheeks into all sorts of shapes!
It was not until the grievance in those heterochromatic eyes turned into a threat, her teeth bearing from her small mouth in a look that said "Master, if you pinch me again I am going to bite you!"...
That he finally let go in satisfaction.
Liguang immediately buried her face back into his chest.
"Hmph...!"
She even let out a soft snort.
Fang Qi chuckled, wrapping his arm around her slender waist.
My wife is so cute!
However...
His gaze returned to the window.
He could not just indulge in sweet and intimate moments with his wife forever.
He looked at the building opposite them again.
The sunlight was getting brighter, and the glaring reflection made it impossible for him to see inside through that window.
He did not know if Xiao Qing was still lying behind that window.
Nor did he know if Lin Xiaoyou was currently rubbing her temples, waking up from that "dream."
But he did know... the ending of the previous loop had quite a bit to unpack!
His smart brain had discovered something!
In [Ending ??: Secret Lovers' Suicide]...
—"That girl who always smiled and called you 'Senior', she suddenly went mad."
—"One second she wanted to cooperate, and the next, she inexplicably wanted to kill you."
This was the world rules' description of Lin Xiaoyou's behavior.
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was getting interesting.
The world rules did not think Lin Xiaoyou had figured out the "rewind mechanism," nor did it think she was premeditatedly exploiting the rules.
From the perspective of the world rules, she just...
Suddenly went mad?
She was just a crazy girl who was discussing cooperation one second and inexplicably trying to kill someone the next.
But Lin Xiaoyou had been terrifyingly lucid from beginning to end.
Every one of her steps had been meticulously planned—
The street racing, the self-harm, the storytelling, the locked room, the poison gas...
Everything was linked together.
Even his reactions were within her calculations.
Yet in the eyes of the world rules...
It all amounted to a dismissive, "she suddenly went mad"?
Ha!
These world rules were not even as smart as he was!
He could see it all clearly, but the world rules could not understand it!
Sure enough, he was quite smart after all!
Yup!
Very smart!
Fang Qi instantly regained his confidence!
However...
His fingertips tapped lightly on Liguang's back.
In his mind, he quickly traced back through the previous loops.
Thinking about it carefully...
The venerable world rules seemed to have always been this "stupid"?
When was the first time Liguang had a dream?
It was during the island elopement.
He jumped off the cliff, triggering a rewind through death for the first time.
As soon as time rewound, Liguang knocked over her teacup!
She threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly!
Crying all the while, she told him about that "very, very long dream"!
From collecting seashells to beach volleyball, from eloping to the wooden raft, from kissing to being abandoned, from silently waiting to sinking into the deep sea...
She recounted every detail clearly!
At that time, she was practically telling him blatantly, telling his eyes—
Master, I remember everything that happened in the last loop!
And the result?
The result was that nothing happened.
The world rules did not erase her memories back then.
Why?
Was it simply because... she called those memories a "dream"?
Fang Qi's finger stopped on Liguang's earlobe, lightly flicking that little star... which had once been hidden inside a beautiful seashell.
...And then there was the "monster in the mirror" incident.
He was besieged by the company, shot himself, and rewound to the morning of the seventh day.
The teacup in Liguang's hands smashed onto the floor. She did not greet him as usual, but frantically sprang backward, covered her face, and hid in the small room...
Shutting the door for the very first time!
She remembered her master's suicide, and her own rampage.
She remembered the monster in the mirror with all its bionic skin burned off, exposing a metal skeleton.
She broke down on the spot, reacting incredibly intensely!
But the world rules, once again, did absolutely nothing.
Hmm...?
Fang Qi blinked.
It really did not do anything.
So...
Had he been a bit overly cautious before?
He had always been walking on thin ice regarding these world rules, the "eyes of the world," and that so-called mechanism of "rejecting memories that should not exist"...!
Communicating with Liguang required relying on eye contact and tacit understanding. Speaking with Lin Xiaoyou required beating around the bush...
He had not even dared to mention the events of the previous loop!
But what if... the world rules were not actually as sharp as he had imagined?
Perhaps it was more like a... "program" that only triggered when certain conditions were met?
As long as he packaged the memories that should not exist into the container of a "dream," and slapped on a label saying "this is just a dream"...
Would these "world rules" just turn a blind eye and let it pass?
Even if the content under this label was glaringly obvious memories?
Inhaling sharply...
Fang Qi stroked his chin, his eyes growing brighter and brighter!
It made sense!
If that were the case, he didn't need to be so nervous at all!
He could totally discuss the experiences of the last playthrough with Liguang!
Discuss Lin Xiaoyou's plan!
Discuss that underground research facility!
As long as they both... referred to it as a "dream"!
Using "I dreamed" instead of "I remember", wouldn't that mean...
They could bypass the monitoring of the world rules?
Just like Lin Xiaoyou in the last playthrough!
She had been talking about "dreams" the entire time!
"Dreams shouldn't last too long," "You have to die in the dream to wake up," "Wait until this dream wakes up"...
So...
In the eyes of the world rules, she was just a crazy girl who couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality!
He didn't know if Lin Xiaoyou had said that on purpose.
He felt it probably wasn't intentional.
She probably didn't know anything about "reloading a save," she might have thought... this was some kind of "time reversal" or "time travel to the past"?
Or some mysterious concepts like "parallel universes" or "wormholes".
Wouldn't people with high IQs tend to think in that direction?
Unlike him.
He was just a guy who played Galgames; all he knew was reloading saves.
Anyway...
She probably wasn't sure what was going on herself, so she used "dream" as a substitute.
But the world rules had actually been fooled by her!
At least, judging from the description of the Ending, the world rules just thought she was a lunatic!
...Lin Xiaoyou had hit the mark by a lucky fluke.
And he, as a "player," as someone more familiar with the rules of this game...
Was actually schooled by an NPC when it came to game rules...
Fang Qi's mouth twitched slightly.
...No, no, no!
He couldn't be blamed for this, right!
Lin Xiaoyou was just... fearless out of ignorance!
And he was afraid that Liguang's memories would disappear, which was why he was so constrained!
It wasn't the same thing, okay!
The psychological burden was different!
...Forget it! He wouldn't think about this!
In short, this discovery was very important!
He really needed Liguang's memories of the last playthrough!
Because...
He touched his nose.
Because he genuinely didn't remember where that secret research facility was...
In the last playthrough, Lin Xiaoyou drove that pink microcar and sped on the elevated highway for over an hour!
Along the way, he was entirely preoccupied with feeling the terror and thrill of the street racing...
Gripping the seatbelt for dear life, being tossed around, feeling like his soul was going to be crushed out of his body by the acceleration!
When he finally got out of the car, he leaned against a tree and threw up until the sky spun!
As for...
Which direction they drove after leaving the city? Which exits they passed? Which fork in the road they turned at?
What shape the mountain was from a distance? What landmarks were at the foot of the mountain?
How could he possibly remember any of that...!
He didn't remember a single thing!
Furthermore, considering it took over an hour at Lin Xiaoyou's speed, a normal drive would take at least three hours, right?
Even if Lin Xiaoyou hadn't been speeding, a normal person wouldn't be able to remember it at all!
Was this a route a human could remember in just one trip!
Did they think he was a GPS!
However, even though he, a mere human, really couldn't remember...
But Liguang would definitely remember!
Fang Qi tightly hugged the soft warmth in his arms.
She was an AI!
As long as it was something she had experienced, every single detail would be perfectly preserved in her memory.
That route leading to the secret base—
Starting from the dim sum restaurant, passing through the commercial street, getting on the elevated highway, and leaving the city.
Finally, the asphalt road lined with dense trees on both sides, and that lush, green mountain.
Every intersection, every street sign, every stretch of scenery...
She definitely remembered them all crystal clear!
In this playthrough, Lin Xiaoyou wouldn't take him there again.
That genius lady had made it very clear in the secret room.
"If Senpai still wants to come... then come by yourself. Otherwise... the informants will find out."
"Informants."
Even though he didn't know who or what they were...
But they couldn't be discovered.
She was crazy.
But she was crazy in a very clear-headed way.
Her IQ was still trustworthy.
So... for the upcoming journey, he and Liguang needed to walk it themselves.
He needed Liguang's memory; he needed her to perfectly replicate that route leading deep into the mountains!
At this moment, the silver-haired girl in his arms suddenly trembled slightly.
She lifted her head from his embrace, her heterochromatic eyes looking straight at his phone on the coffee table.
The next second, with a "ding," the screen lit up.
A text message had arrived.
A text at this hour?
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes. The hand that was still pinching Liguang's cheek gave it another squeeze before he reached out and grabbed the phone.
Lin Xiaoyou
...As expected.
Miss Genius. Miss Lunatic.
What do you want to tell me in this playthrough?
He immediately tapped it open.
Lin Xiaoyou: Senpai, Senpai! Are you up!
Lin Xiaoyou: I took the day off today and didn't go to work. I'm really so bored at home~
Lin Xiaoyou: Can I go to Senpai's house right now! I haven't seen Liguang in days! I really want to see such an amazing AI companion again!
Lin Xiaoyou: I really can't wait until ten o'clock. Let me come over right now, I'm begging you, Senpai~ (Cat Begging.JPG)
Fang Qi: "?"
Wait...
Why does this string of messages look so familiar?
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
